I am obsessed with hummingbirds they are by far my most favorite and cherished. This little fellow liked to hang out in the rose bush out side my kitchen window I of course had to give him a name so I thought ramsey after gordon ramsey would be appropriete :)

Incredibly well done! Especially fond of the throat gorget and how you were able to capture the scale-like feathers!

my best images happen by accident. there is so much to be seen in the minutiae surrounding us that we often miss the very best.

Holly - Call him what you wish, close up captures of one sitting still are rarities, and most enjoyable to view. Thad

Amazing shot! Love the close-up. I am still seeing a few, as late in the season as it's getting.
